No place for that and it taints what Scott Drew has done.
This, unfortunately, is not the first display of poor sportsmanship this year in college basketball. Memphis' last second victory over UAB nearly started an all out brawl, and Duke students donned caps and gowns holding signs that said "Fear the classroom" when playing I think either Va Tech of Maryland. This was in reference to the opponents league lowest graduation rate. A guy for UCLA received death threats from Oregon fans because of his choice to play for the Bruins instead of the Ducks.
This sort of display by fans and students is attrocious. While it is certainly not the first time there have been blatant issues with sportsmanship, this year seems to present some particularly bad examples. The administrations at schools need to take action to keep heckling and cheering to a positive spirited manner and try to minimize this sort of behavior. I love to mess with the opposing team, it's part of the game, but it needs to be done with class and sportsmanship.
